Entertainment
 
Kuala Lumpur is a city that never sleeps, at least until the wee hours, with night spots pulsating to the rhythm of the night life.

As KL comes alive in a blaze of multi-coloured lights when the night falls, there is always something to keep you entertained with the profusion of lively karaoke lounges, pubs with live bands and jazz, discos, cinemas and cineplexes showing contemporary English, Malay, Chinese, Hindi and Indonesian movies, theatres, night clubs, cabarets, bowling alleys etc. Local theatre groups regularly stage enthralling Asian and Western dramas, dance dramas and the bangsawan (traditional Malay opera).
 
Or you may just take a stroll at the pasar malam, the local night street market, for worthwhile bargains.
